I get asked quite a lot to review books for authors that I know, and I'm always reluctant to do this, because generally no matter how much they say they appreciate your honesty, some authors do get really offended when I do a negative review. I think they forget that they volunteered their book in the first place, and had they not done so, their egos would still be intact. It always amazes me, because they know that I'm not one to beat about the bush, so why ask me to do a review?
